The third-generation Porsche Panamera luxury performance sedan is heavily revamped for 2024 and going into the 2025 model year now, and we know the Turbo E-Hybrid trim model is getting an all-new decal package, which will expand to all of Porsche’s Turbo-trim performance vehicles in the near future. Consequently, the wraps are finally off the entire car, with the 2025 Panamera going heavily hybrid, also offering two available air suspension setups, and a bumped-up starting price that solidifies the car exclusively in the six-figure price range. Here’s what’s new across the 2025
2024 Panamera Design Update
You might be forgiven for not immediately distinguishing the new Panamera from the outgoing model, but we’re here to help with that. The new look adopts a wide lower grille opening and redesigned face, with a new air opening slot above the front license plate mounting point, delivering a slightly more aggressive demeanor to the car.
- The flanking “wings” of the hoodline over each front wheel have been stretched vertically for a more muscular stance.
- New center-lock 21-inch wheel designs available at launch (but not standard).
- The rear hatch door now features a frameless window design, similar to the Porsche Taycan EV sedan.
- The taillight bar features a single straight blade design, also taking inspiration from the Taycan.
Updated Engines and More E-Hybrid
Porsche promises the new Panamera will be available with multiple updated hybrid powertrains. Initially, this includes the Turbo E-Hybrid, Panamera 4 non-hybrid, and base Panamera launch models, with the Panamera 4 and 4S E-Hybrid models debuting a few months later, followed by the GTS and Turbo S E-Hybrid for the 2025 model year.
The Panamera and Panamera 4 receive an updated 2.9-liter turbocharged V-6 gas engine that boasts an increase of 23 horsepower and 37 lb-ft of torque over the second-gen car, now achieving a total output of 348 hp and 368 lb-ft. As a result, the estimated rear-wheel-drive 0-60 acceleration time improves to an estimated 5 seconds, with an all-wheel-drive 0-60 time of 4.7 seconds, and a top track speed of 169 mph (or 1 mph lower for Panamera 4 models).
The newly-announced Panamera 4 and 4S E-Hybrid are slightly down on torque and horsepower, respectively. However, there is no apparent consequence on the final performance figures for 0-60 mph, although the 4S E-Hybrid does experience a slight reduction in top speed. The new 4 E-Hybrid produces a combined output of 463 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, a figure that now features an 8 hp boost but a decrease of 37 lb-ft from the outgoing model. It can still accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.9 seconds (quicker than before) and achieves a top speed of 174 mph, consistent with earlier performance metrics.
The redesigned 4S E-Hybrid refines the 2.9-liter V-6 and e-motor setup to yield a combined output of 536 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, which is 16 fewer horses than before. This model still accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds but sees its top speed reduced to 180 mph. All new hybrid models are equipped with a larger 25.9 gross kWh battery pack, claimed to provide around 50 miles of all-electric driving range; however, official mileage data from the U.S. EPA is yet to be confirmed.
The Turbo E-Hybrid model incorporates a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 paired with a 140-kW (187 hp) oil-cooled electric motor fully integrated into the 8-speed dual-clutch PDK automatic transmission. This model, using the same 25.9 kWh battery pack, achieves a total combined output of 670 hp and 685 lb-ft of torque. Therefore, the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid’s zero-to-60 time is remarkably quick at 3.0 seconds, with an impressive top speed of 195 mph. Accordingly, this places the new third-gen Turbo E-Hybrid very close to the second-gen Turbo S E-Hybrid, as the new Turbo’s total output is just 20 hp short of the outgoing Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid’s system output, albeit with 43 lb-ft more torque.
New Active Ride
All 2024 Panamera models will come equipped with air suspension setups, and Porsche is offering two distinct configurations. The first is the standard setup, a two-valve, two-chamber suspension system, which separates control of compression and rebound of the damper. The Porsche Active Suspension Management system allows drivers to customize settings, enabling a switch between comfort and sporty setups.
Available as an option is the new generation of the Porsche Active Ride system on “Panamera E-Hybrid models.” This innovative system is engineered to maintain the car’s body flat over the wheels during harsh acceleration, sudden braking, or when navigating corners. This one-chamber air suspension setup is complemented by new active shock absorbers that connect to a hydraulic pump, effectively fluctuating the volume in the dampers to manage pressure between the wheels and body of the car.
Porsche emphasizes that the system is responsive and quick to react, utilizing real-world data from sensors on the vehicle to adjust in real-time to specific road and driving conditions. Specifically, this system will lean the car into corners “like a motorcycle,” pitch the car forward at a slight angle under heavy braking, and similarly tilt forward during rapid acceleration. Moreover, it provides the added benefit of controlling the vehicle’s ride height for easier entry when parked.
2025 Porsche Panamera Optional Aero Kit
After a recent Nürburgring track lap record set by the new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid model, Porsche has decided to offer a specialized kit exclusively for Turbo models in 2025. The package includes carbon fiber front airblades, side skirts, and a rear diffusor, as well as a front spoiler lip and a Gurney flap on the four-way rear spoiler; at 124 mph, the kit generates an additional downforce of 132 pounds. Furthermore, the package features Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires for 21-inch wheels.
Third-Gen Porsche Panamera Pricing
The third-gen Porsche Panamera sedan starts at $101,550, inclusive of destination fees. The Panamera 4 is priced at $108,550. The new Panamera 4 E-Hybrid has a starting price of $117,495, while the 4S E-Hybrid begins at $128,795. All new models feature standard LED matrix lighting, a steering-mounted drive mode switch, a cooled wireless phone charger, and a modern air particulate filter system. Consequently, Porsche has set pricing for the GTS at $156,195, the Turbo E-Hybrid at $192,995, and the Turbo S E-Hybrid at $228,495.
